Forecasts

Unexpected Arrival (11/8), Stargazer Lily (4/1), Crocodile Tears (9/2), Belacqua (17/2), Token Trader (9/1), Smiling Sunflower (18/1), Glittering Grace (20/1), Tiddlywinx (33/1), Dandy's Diva (150/1)

BELACQUA wasn't an expensive purchase as a yearling, but she represents a yard with a superb record with juveniles this season and she wouldn't need to be out of the ordinary to make a winning start. Unexpected Arrival is the pick of those with experience, though Stargazer Lily could be a totally different proposition this time.
